Homes for The People,

| There can be no question that the
Panhandle, Northern and Middle
Texas offer superior attractions TO
home seekers, but for some reason or
other the tide of immigration is not
sweeping thitherward in anything
Ike a tidal-wave. Tie drouth, no
doubt, was aud Is detcrring cause
but there we're difficulties prior to the

confronted with many hindrances and
distractions to home. seeking aud
profitable filling. The land laws
were purposely or blundcringly
shaped for confusion, peculation
and fraud and their administration
has not been marked with simplicity
or straight-forwsrdness, aud the
temptation to take advantage of imb
cile legislation has not, in many
instances, been herOically resisted by
sub-otiicials charged with parceling
the public domain. The three great
deterrants to the settlement OF the
country originated under the Roberts
administration. First of these was
the seven section so cents an acre
law, with the "uncles, cousins ana
aunts" addends; next the seattle king"
and syndicate system, and last the
lease law, with its barbed menace to
the actual settler and the
progress Of civilization. The
latter though put i'll the form
OF statute after Governor Roberts
retirement, was the logic of the
seven section fraud and its corollary.

craftsmanship, She is still great in
her resources, great i'll her uninhabit
